Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vehicle seat and more precisely a seat in which several user functions/possibilities are integrated in one and the same seat.
  • the vehicle seat according to the invention in addition to the normal user function as a passenger seat, discloses a possibility for use as a child seat, facing forwards or backwards, and a possibility of use as a backward-facing reclining chair for an adult.
  • US patent no. 4,655,503 relates to a vehicle seat in which the back rest is displaceable relative to the seat part and fixable in a normal position and a front end position, respectively.
  • the back of the back rest has an arrangement for creating a backward-facing child seat when the back rest is positioned in the front end position.
  • Swedish published specification 448,219 discloses another example of how the rear of the back rest, due to its specific design and adjustability to a front end position along the seat part, may be used for providing a child seat with the back of the child facing in the driving direction.
  • Swedish published specification 443,335 relates to a vehicle seat in which the rear of the back rest has a box which can be folded out to form a backward-facing child seat.
  • the back is settable to a forward inclination, but is not displaceable along the seat part.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat which combines passenger comfort and safety, for a child as well as an adult.
  • a further object of the vehicle seat is to offer resting comfort also for an adult.
  • Another object is to basically maintain exteriorly the traditional vehicle seat design, which implies that the vehicle seat will be useful in existing as well as newly manufactured vehicles.
  • Still a further object of the invention is to extend the field of -use of existing, so-called integrated vehicle seats.
  • the invention provides an improvement of a vehicle seat, of the type defined in the preamble of claims 1 and 3, respectively, and described in US-A-4 655 503.
  • the vehicle seat 10 shown illustratively in fig. 1 comprises a seat part 10 and a back rest 11. Brackets 12 at each seat side, having locking/positioning control 13 at at least one side, are attached to a back frame 14 (fig. 3) and a seat frame 15 (fig. 2).
  • the back frame and the back 11 mounted on said frame are inclinable relative to the seat part 10 by means of the control 13.
  • the brackets 12 slide in longitudinal grooves 16 at either side of the seat and the back 14, 11/back frame attached by means of the brackets is displaceable continuously along the seat part and lockable.
  • the arrow 19 in fig. 3 indicates that the back rest 11 is moveable in the height direction, i.e. together with the arrow 20 it is illustrated that the back part may be raised upwards in the figure, thereafter rotated 180° round a rotation axis extending in the height direction of the back rest, and thereafter again lowered in the direction of the arrow 19 downwardly to lock into the seat frame 15.
  • Fig. 4 shows a stud 21 around which the back frame 14 and thus the back are rotated relative to the seat.
  • this shows how a box 22 having sides 23, 24 is unfoldable from the rear of the back rest to form a child seat.
  • FIG. 2 Another embodiment of the child seat is disclosed in fig. 2 where flap-like side protectors 25, 26 are unfoldable from the rear of the back rest.
  • the arrow 27 further indicates that the seat part is rotatable 180° around a horizontal rotation axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
  • the object of this is to provide an optimum design of the side of the seat part used for sitting in the different applications/fields of use which are relevant here.
  • Another possibility of achieving the said object resides in forming the seat part dividable along a division surface 28.
  • the vehicle seat is arranged as a backward-facing child seat.
